You're not really going to see any performance gains with either the Catback or the Axleback exhausts. If you want them for performance reasons, I'd say save your money. The only time the Catback exhaust helps is if you have a supercharger. Only other real reason to get the exhaust and then in that case just get the Axlebacks .. is for the looks and the sound.

exactly, unless you want to improve looks and add some sound - our stock exhaust is higher flow than most stock systems.

i'll have to disagree... i dont have a supercharger or a turbo and my exhaust system definitly gave me more power. it would probably not be as good for someone who doesnt have intake/headers tho)
but what is your goal? more power, more sound, more looks? are you trying to dramatically improve your car's performance or if you only want some goodies to make it a lil' punchier?

The Exhausts for our car are more for looks, and sound than performance.

get a custom setup. like 2¼" from the cat to the y-pipe then 2½" from the y-pipe to each muffler. mandrel bent too. make sure you get straight flowing mufflers (straight through)
and man, please, dont make my goal too hard to achieve
--> have the fastest TL-P in Quebec @cUr@-TL
